Welcome to 117 Melissa Trail, a beautifully upgraded custom home located in the highly sought-after gated community of Lake Arietta Reserve. This thoughtfully designed single-story residence offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private office that could serve as a fourth bedroom or nursery, and an oversized three-car garage, all situated on an expansive 0.41-acre lot. From the moment you arrive, the paver driveway, mature landscaping, and elegant architecture create a striking first impression. Inside, you’ll find a spacious open layout with ten-foot ceilings, crown molding throughout, and luxury vinyl plank flooring recently installed in the main living areas. The formal dining room sits just off the entryway, paired with a bright breakfast nook overlooking the lanai. At the heart of the home, the kitchen has been beautifully remodeled with granite countertops, premium wood cabinetry, a large peninsula island, and a generous walk-in pantry, perfect for hosting and everyday living. The private owner’s suite includes a sitting area, dual walk-in closets, a spacious walk-in shower, double vanities, and a built-in dry heat sauna that replaces the traditional tub—offering a spa-like retreat in your own home. French doors from the great room, hallway bath, and master suite lead to the newly completed screened-in saltwater pool and hot tub, finished in 2022 and surrounded by an oversized paver lanai with child safety fencing. The fully fenced backyard is ideal for entertaining and relaxing, with a separate grilling patio and a gated side yard offering boat or trailer parking behind a double PVC privacy fence. The ground in the storage area has been updated with fresh shell, making it both practical and low-maintenance. Additional upgrades include a new architectural shingle roof installed in 2020, a completely replaced HVAC system in 2022, a new water heater, cooktop, dishwasher, and refrigerator in 2023, fresh interior paint in 2021, and new exterior paint in 2022. The oversized three-car garage provides ample built-in shelving and attic storage above, while the full lawn irrigation system keeps the grounds looking pristine. Homeowners in Lake Arietta Reserve enjoy private access to the lake through the neighborhood’s exclusive boat ramp. This exceptional home offers a rare blend of elegance, functionality, and premium upgrades in one of Auburndale’s most desirable communities.
